I am so excited! I just printed out my application for the One Stop Shopping Night Craft and Etc. Sale in November. I also just put in an order for some brand new jewelry making stuff at TWO different places. I can't wait to get it in the mail so I can start working on my new jewelry collection. This one is going to be called "Mothers With Heart". It is dedicated to all the women out there who have been diagnosed with Peripartum/Postpartum Cardiomyopathy~My Heart Sisters. :) It is a reminder of what we have gone through and what we go through every day. I hope it will help bring more awareness to women (pregnant or not) who are of childbearing age of the dangers of this condition. I will be the first person (I have searched and Googled and have come up with nobody thus far) to make beautiful jewelry to bring awareness to this illness. It makes me feel good that I know first hand what other women are going through and that I may be able to help them to deal with PPCM in some way by providing awareness jewelry for them. I am absolutely geeked to be the one who starts the trend and I hope that I am not the last.
We don't have an official awareness color yet, but some of the ladies who were first diagnosed have used Mint Green as their color of choice since it is not currently being used for anything else. I plan on using mint green beads, green crystals, with silver awareness ribbon charms or beads, silver spacer beads, and a single red bead to signify our heart. I plan on making a few different versions and I am beyond excited to start playing around with patterns. :)
Stay tuned for more information and for pictures of my new creations!
